Acidic.
A pH of 7 is neutral ... and since it is a negative log function (i.e. numbers less than 1)
then the lower the number ... the more acid it is. [pH is a measure of the concentration of H+ ions.]
And to add to your confusion, the pH of neutrality is temperature dependent;
it's 7 at 25 degrees C but 7.4 at 37 degrees C (body temp).
a pH of 4 is most acidic than a solution with a pH of 5. In general, the lower the pH, the more acidic the solution is.
No, a pH of 5 is ten times more acidic than a pH o6.
As the pH decreases, the solution becomes 10 times more acidic for each point. A solution of pH 4 is 10 times more acidic than a solution of pH 5. A solution of pH 3 is 10 times more acidic than a solution of pH 4. 10 x 10 = 100 A solution of pH 3 is 100 times more acidic than a solution of pH 5.
It's not very acidic, but yes it is. Any pH lower than seven is considered to be acidic, and any pH higher than seven is basic. If a substance has a pH of 7, that means the substance is considered to be neutral.
A pH of 5 is mildly acidic. The rule is a pH of 7 is neutral, anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is alkaline or basic.
It should be between 2-5 in the ph scale if dissolved in water
Acidic. (A pH below 7 is acidic. A pH of 7 is neutral. Above 7 is basic.)
100,000 times more acidic
. Since the pH scale is determined by log it is 10 to the power of 3 more acidic so it's 1000 times more acidic
It's not very acidic, but yes it is. Any pH lower than seven is considered to be acidic, and any pH higher than seven is basic. If a substance has a pH of 7, that means the substance is considered to be neutral.
Black coffee is acidic with a pH of 5
The substances with pH 5 is more acidic since it contains more H+ ions. As the pH goes down the substance becomes more acidic and as it goes up the substance becomes more basic.
